Further Reading: 2 Bad Policy Positions *If you’re a Democrat, Liberal, Progressive, Friend to Organized Labor 3 Yang is “Pro-Charter” and believes Teachers Unions are the problem There appears to be no record of Yang walking back these 2020 remarks. So for the time being, the record reflects Yang’s position as: “I am pro-charter.” “Principals’ hands are tied by union regs.” “Yes! Yes. [to “school choice”]” ‘Teachers unions are the problem.’ Yang on 15/hr Minimum Wage: It is is Anti-Worker Andrew Yang talks with right wing pundit Dave Rubin about raising the minimum wage to $15/hr and it’s cringe https://youtu.be/0V5rvfJ_am0 Yang on Harassment Investigations: Do as I say, not as I do. https://twitter.com/AndrewLondre/status/1366226368749576194?s=20 Yang Opposes Taxing The Rich (Behind Closed Doors with The Rich) 4 Andrew Yang, who is leading the pack in his Democratic primary run for mayor, recently told a group of high-powered business leaders that he doesn’t support raising taxes on New Yorkers — including the most wealthy. Yang staked out the position last Wednesday at a meeting he had with the Partnership for New York City, which represents large businesses that employ more than 1 million people in the city, two sources who attended the virtual confab revealed. “He was clear that he didn’t favor new taxes on New Yorkers, period,” one source said. “The guy is really confident he’s going to be the mayor. He said, ‘I’ll probably be the next mayor, and I want to work for all of you.’” The source recalled being struck by Yang’s use of the word “for,” rather than “with” when he made the remark about working “for all of you” to the dozens of business leaders on the call. Another source described his remarks as “an impressive performance,” noting with an ironic chuckle that he wasn’t “calling for tax increases on the evil rich.” “He tells people what they want to hear,” that source said. “He clearly knew telling people he’s going to raise taxes is not what this group wants to hear.” Yang’s comments come at a time when several bills aimed at taxing the rich have gained traction in Albany and as many New Yorkers support such measures. A survey released last September found that 90% of those polled favor raising taxes on people making $5 million or more a year. Rebecca Bailin, the campaign manager for Invest In Our New York, painted Yang as out of touch for his stance, saying that “millions of New Yorkers can’t make rent or afford to put food on the table because the governor refuses to end tax breaks on the wealthy.” “Anyone who actually spent time here would know that,” she added in an apparent shot at Yang’s time spent in his second home in New Paltz during the pandemic. NY Working Families Party State Director Sochie Nnaemeka also criticized Yang for the remarks. “New York City needs a leader who will fight to end tax breaks for the wealthy and raise real revenue to lift up struggling New Yorkers,” Nnamekea said. When asked for clarity on Yang’s position on taxes, campaign spokesman Jacob Sporn said Yang intends to “address the unjust carve-outs that are baked into the city’s budget, including an antiquated property tax reform system that forces middle-class homeowners and renters to subsidize property tax bills for the wealthy.” “He’ll also fight to close outrageous loopholes for big corporations like Madison Square Garden and will support a new tax on the thousands of luxury condos owned by non-New York residents,” he added. 5 Yang Is “Not Opposed To” Taxing The Rich In Front of Cameras Click on either of the above images to watch the respective videos. So, which is it? Is Yang opposed to “new taxes on New Yorkers, period”? OR Is Yang “not against higher taxes in New York City.” HE CAN’T BE BOTH. Who’s not telling the truth? Someone isn’t being honest here. EITHER Yang is telling the truth that he “is not against higher taxes in New York City” which would mean the Daily News’ source was not telling the truth. OR The powerful business leader is telling the truth that Yang was clear that he didn’t favor new taxes on New Yorkers, period,” which would mean Andrew Yang was not telling NY1, Ben Max, and voters the truth about his position on taxing the rich in NYC. BOTH CAN’T BE TELLING THE TRUTH. Unless... Yang doesn’t have a firm stance on taxing the rich and completely flip flopped on this issue and hoped no one would notice. 6 Money Problems Follow the money (if you can) 7 Concerning Political Spending Here’s the Math on Humanity Forward PAC Spending: ● 80+% Spent on Contributions ● 25% of all contributions went to Endorsed Non-Presidential Candidates ● 75% of all contributions went to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), DNC funds, and DNC State Parties Spending on Endorsed Non-Presidential Candidates: $68,691.00 ● Non-Presidential Win Rate = 4% (1 win out of 23 endorsements) ● Non-Presidential Loss Rate = 96% (22 losses out of 23 endorsements) Total Contributions to the DNC & Co.: $283,314.00 ● $ 200,000.00 to Biden Victory Fund (A DNC Fund) ● $ 35,500.00 to Democratic National Committee ● $ 45,014.00 to DNC State Parties ● $ 2,800.00 to Joe Biden Curious Timing of Contributions ● Almost all of the $280,000+ funds from Humanity Forward PAC to the Democratic Party were dispersed on just two dates: 8/5/2020 and 10/6/2020 ● Approximately $158,000 on 8/5/2020 ● Approximately $120,000 on 10/6/2020 ● The Democratic National Convention took place August 8/17/2020 thru 8/20/2020 ● Yang tweeted “I’ve got to be honest I kind of expected to speak,” on 8/11/2020 after Yang was left of the initial DNC speaker lineup ● Yang was then, almost out of nowhere, miraculously added to the speaking lineup of a DNC which is reviled by most members of the “YangGang” and which has a history of “pay-to-play” schemes. Return on Investment — DNC Spending: [ Fill in the blank ] Return on Investment — Endorsed Candidate Spending: 5% win rate Important Questions to Ask 1. Why did Humanity Forward PAC choose to suddenly donate such a large amount of funds to the DNC and its affiliates? 2. Were any agreements made with the DNC around the time of these donations? 3. Why were these donations dispersed in batches on the two dates mentioned above? 4. How were the amounts of donated funds chosen? 5. Who (specifically) decides who receives funding from Humanity Forward PAC? NOTE: The YangGang largely despises the DNC. 8 Buying the Bronx? Re: $1 Million “UBI” Pilot Program in the Bronx (buying influence for NYC Mayor’s race through his 501(c)3 Humanity Forward Foundation? After announcing his run for Mayor of NYC?): ● Of all the places Yang could have chosen, he chose the Bronx… while the Bronx may be perfectly deserving of this program, there are countless other communities that needed it just as much but there was no reason given as to why the Bronx was chosen. However, the political implications seem clear as day. ○ The circumstances around the announcement of Yang's candidacy and this program, give the appearance that it was an effort to buy the affection of a significant number of NYC Democratic voters ○ Note, the Bronx was chosen and announced after Yang entered the race for mayor! ■ There should be an investigation into the ethical questions of Yang’s nonprofit doing all of this after he “entered the race for mayor” ○ And are we really supposed to believe that it’s purely coincidental that Yang’s nonprofit chose the Bronx for their pilot UBI program and (as if choosing one of NYC’s boroughs for this pilot while running for mayor of NYC isn’t already obviously politically motivated) that, the Bronx also happens to be the home of one of NYC’s biggest political influencers, who hasn’t been kind in her characterization of Yang’s UBI efforts in the past, Rep.

  • General Insights From: “The Intellectual Dark-Web”
    Intersect, Vol 14, No 3 (2021) General insights from: “The Intellectual Dark-Web” Francesco C. Mannella Queen’s University Smith School of Business Within the modern era, personal ideology and political affiliation, in particular, have become absolutely integral components of social identity. In-group bias, and out-group prejudice based on political stance are currently more palpable than biases regarding race, religion, and other facets of personal identity (Iyengar and Westwood, 2015). It simply goes unquestioned that the bipartisan values one holds serve as an all- encompassing test of character and must be subject to incessant scrutiny and questioning, with little nuance or restraint (Peterson et al., 2017). Moreover, close personal relations across party lines have become a rarity, with people increasingly disassociating themselves from those of whom support non-partisan groups (Huber and Malhotra, 2017; Iyengar, Konitzer, and Tedin, 2018; Iyengar and Westwood, 2015; Westwood et al., 2017; Peterson et al., 2017). Rather than working to solve issues collectively, the pressures to either wholly reject or accept ideas have become overwhelming, causing people to be avoidant and exceedingly distrustful of oppositional figures (Rowson, 2020). Suffice it to say, the parameters for amiable discourse are slimming, even though the issues we universally face are nonetheless worsening. There is no singular cause for this growing polarization; it is truly a multivalent problem. However, exogenous forces such as social media do play a significant role. Recently, a movement known as "The Intellectual Dark-Web" has taken the academic sphere within these virtual networks by storm. Furthermore, this group has indoctrinated millions of users in the last decade, effectively strengthening the already divided population.

  • Don't Burn This Book
    PRAISE FOR DAVE RUBIN “Dave Rubin’s willingness to have tough conversations with those with whom he disagrees has made him a political force—and a target. This book shows why.” —Ben Shapiro, author of The Right Side of History “Dave Rubin is bridging America’s great divide. He reminds us that, while we may not always agree with the ‘other,’ we need to LISTEN to them. Rubin has mastered the vital skills of listening and of asking questions that do not serve an ideological agenda.” —Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth “Dave Rubin has been years ahead of the mainstream media, for years.” —Peter Thiel, entrepreneur and investor, author of Zero to One “Dave Rubin is one of the bravest, smartest people I know, as well as a tremendous television presence.” —Tucker Carlson, Fox News host and author of Ship of Fools “Dave Rubin is one of a kind. A truly great interviewer. Bright, curious, and funny.” —Larry King, host of The Larry King Show “Dave Rubin’s genuine curiosity and willingness to seriously consider opinions across the political spectrum have rightly made The Rubin Report a necessary corrective to modern journalism. Don’t Burn This Book charts his personal and political transformation from predictable progressive to independent and informed thinker in a manner that his readers should find topical, engaging, personable, and, above all, reassuring.” —Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life and Maps of Meaning SENTINEL An imprint of Penguin Random House LLC penguinrandomhouse.com Copyright © 2020 by Emma Dog Productions LLC Penguin supports copyright.
